1 EXAMINE YOTFR DATES^
-o ?
Wa request each of our subscribers to ex?
amine the address on his paper, and particu?
larly to observe the date npon it. This date
eboTvs the time up to which the paper has
been paid for. Many of our subscribers will
thus see that they have paid in advance ;
but-there are many others "who will discover
that they hav? not.
We are glad to be able to state that the
balance of the machinery so long needed at
the Bellemont Cotton Factory, has at last ar?
rived. The work will now speedily begin.
The Public Schools over the County are
gradually bei og discontinued. Some of them
have had sessions of four months, some of
fire, and a few of six. The session has been
uncommonly successful, and the average at?
tendance greater than that of last year.
- By a recent Act of the Legislature, -the un?
appropriated money collected to build the
County fence, has been set aside to pay the
deficiency on the indebtedness of 1879-80 and j
81. Excluding the bonded debt, this puts i
the County square with its creditors.
A gentleman in town has applied for a
place on our staff as a "Spring poet.' ' Tush 1
maa,bring np a spring chicken, and then we'll
come to business.
We return thanks to Mr. Chas. H. Green for
au invitation to attend toe Centennial Cele?
bration-of the birth-day of J. C. Calhoun, to
be held by the Calhoun Literary Society, of
Wofford College, on the evening of March 18.
Addresses are to be delivered by Rev. Ellison
Capers and Hon. David R. Duncan.
Un Bal Masque will be held at Gamble's
Hall, Florence, S. C., on the evening of March
22. Tickets $1.00. The proceeds are to be
devoted to the aid of tbe Russian Sufferers.
We return thanks for a complimentary
ticket.
Our Music Kail has two doors, we are in?
formed. One of them i3 useless, or the binges
are broken, or something else. We judge
this bj the fact that after an entertainment,
.aid door is never opened ; but the crowd
are kept in the Hall waiting for the procession
to march slowly out at one door. In case of I
fire the jam and rush would be terrible. Be ,
it resolved, by the citizeos of Sumter, that we j
will attend no more entertainments in the
Hall until we are assured that at both doors
we may find an exist.
^ - -We had a fire up in our offica on last Tues?
day night which came nigh on to routing us.
One of our editors in thrashing around, as j
editors will do, knocked over a couple of i
lamps that were sitting on a chair, (lt would j
not be polite for a lamp to stand on s chair.) j
The cry of fire was then neccessary, and some j
fifteen hundred or two thousand of our friends
came rushing up to our relief. It was re-j
freshing to know we had so many friends, j
and "you may not believe it," but we want ?
to take this opportunity of returning thanks j
to them, and to say, at the same time, that j
our subscription books are open for another
rush.
"You may not believe it," but one of our j
young spoons was chawed the other night, i
He went to see the apple of bis eye. Be sat !
at her feet, and said "Will you permit me?" j
She permitted. "Ah ! dear," said be, "I could j
wt here forever." "Could you love?" "Yes, j
sweet." "You are right sure you could, dar?
ling." "I know it, my own." "Very well,
then, you sit here, for I have an engagement i
to go out with Mr, Black, and wont be back!
this evening. Turn out the light and fasten j
the night-latch when you go away. .Ta-ta, j
dear." And she we tout, and heard him say- j
jog, as she left, "'Tis true''tis pity, and pity .]
'tis, 'tis true." \
"Ioeogoito" has sent us a cosmopolitan"?
poem, written in Sumterand mailed at Mayes j
rille. We don't know who "Incognito" is,;
but we guess be is a girl If be ain't a girl, j
he's a boy, and if he*s a boy be's in love aw
fal: The poem is' entitled, "The Prisoner's j
Farewell," ?nd "you may not believe it," !
but it's fnll of love and sighs and kisses and j
good-byes and embraces, and we have read it j
until we feel yonng again. Asa sample of its j
sweetness, we append the last verse which !
drops fatness :
Kow, sweetheart, good-bye forever,
I meekly kiss the chastening rod.
Remember me. I now resign you
To your country and your God.
If "Incognito" had just sent on bis name j
or her name, or somebody else"? name, this j
! oem would not thus be lost to the world. j
A fellow carried his girl to see Hazel Kirke j
last week. Of course we don't mean only i
one fellow did this, but we have our eye on .
one in particular. Well, he fell in love with j
the way Pity made love to Dolly when he !
called her, "Dear, delirious, delicious Dolly!
Dutton." Thisstuck our youth. His sweet- j
heart was named Jane, and on bis way home, j
he made a pass to get up an alliterated form ?
of endearment; so whee he thought his girl j
was feeling softest, he turned his laughing
eyes upon her and said, "Joyous, jubilaot,"
and every other word ia the English tongue,
commencing with j failed him. His girl, of
course, didn't understand what 'joyous, jubi?
lant" meant. At last they came to the front J
-gate, the place where lovers commonly swing j
awhile. ("You may not believe it," but j
we're broken down several in our life.)
Here the young gallant had gathered bis j
thoughts, and as the echoes of a good-night
kiss were dying away in the distance, he ex?
claimed gushingly, "Joyous, jubilant, Jehos?
aphat, June-bug Jane 1" Jane fainted.
Temperance Lecture.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the j
weather, and the triteness of the text a large i
audience assembled at Music Hall on Thurs- j
dajere?ing last to hear Rev. B. K. Douglass' j
lecture on "Temperance." Mr. Douglass is a j
forcible speaker and held the close attention of !
bis audinence for over an boor. His chief at- j
tention is an originality of illustration, which ;
fairly captivates bis hearers. His lecture is j
eminently worthy of being published in full j
bnt want of space prevents our so doing io i
this 1*ue. j
Supervisors of Registration.
Governor Hagood bas, in accordance with j
the law, appointed the Supervisors and As?
sistant, Supervisors of Registration through
out the State. The following are the appoint- j
xoentsfor Sumter and Clarendon :
Sumter County-Chief, P. P. Gaillard ; |
Assistais, Walton S. Wilson and Edward ?
O'Reilly.
Ciertndon County-Chief, John 0. Brock ; ?
ssisuots, James E. Davis and Joseph S. j
Hazel Kirke
! Wae admirably played last Wednesday even?
ing, and it captivated the hearts of the entire
audience. It is not likely that any other
troupe which might play here will supersede
this company in the many golden opinions it
scored on this occasion.
To attempt to describe the individual merits
of the different actors would be quite a hard
task ; for if we were to decide to portray the
Soe acting of Mr. Crompton, the irresistible
[ Mr. Davidson wonld be sure to step in in the
midst of the scene, and (eveu for Pity's sake)
we could not refrain from laughing, thus, too
suddenly turning from the sublime to the
? ridiculous ; aod so in doing justice to the
? sweet and noble Miss Gilbert, perchance, our
: pen would omit some of her most prominent
: merits, the moment the piquant and bewitch
i iog Miss Salisbury entered, brim full of all
those fascinating little ways, which seemed to
upset all the boys' hearts at first sight. So,
j to say the play was a grand success and mer?
ited ihe unbounded praise it received, is the
highest compliment we can pay it.
The management, we are sure, . won the
I good opinioo of all who attended the perform?
ance, by scrupulously giving every portion of
the play. As an evideoce of this fact, a por
I tion of the scenery, which, owing to a defi
j ciency in the gas in the Theatre at Wiloiing
\ ton where they played the night before, they
? could not get to the Depot in time fur the regu
I lar train upon which the company came,
! was despatched upon a special train, thus
j incurring considerable extra expense solely for
the benefit of the performance here. '
Attention S. L. I.
To-night will be the time for the regular
monthly meeting, and matters of importance
will be submitted for consideration. You are
requested to turn out promptly, at Music
Hail, at 8 o'clock.
The Dime Reading will meet at Col. Brand?
ing's Friday.
IN MEMORIAM.
The solemn sound of the funeral bell has
I again summoned us to meet around the grave
j of another of our brethren, whom it has
pleased the Great Architect of the Universe to
remove from earthly labor to refreshment
eternal.
A zealous and faithful Mason-ah active
j and efficient Craftsman-a sincere and trusty
! friend-a tender and affectionate brother has j
j been stricken down by the ruthless hand of
death. And as we stand by the casket,
I I
which contains hts mortal remains, and real- j
ize the irreparable los3 we have sustained, the
heart fills, and the eyes overflow, as we feel
that the sod will soon cover all that is earthly {
of bim from our sight, and that he bas passed i
from among ns, forever 1
But, at the head of the grave stands the j
Acacia ! We are assured, that, rejoicing io j
the remembrance of a well spent life, and j
cheered by that bright faith, which Masonry
does not presume to teach, but to which, she
earnestly though silently points, Death to him
was no troublous passage across the dark and
shadowy River, but a joyful translation to
that world of glory, his advent to which was
greeted by the myriads, whose Blocks have
been tried by the unerring Square, with their
loudest hail of joy and Love.
"Welcome to Heaven, dear brother, welcome j
Home I
Welcome to thy inheritance of Light I
Welcome forever to thy Master's Joy !
Thy work is done, thy pilgrimage is past;
; Thy brethren who have entered into Rest
Long for thy coming ; and the angel choirs
Are ready with their symphonies of praise.
Nor shall" thy roice be mute ; a golden harp
i For thee is hanging on the Tree of Life,
And sweetly shall its chords forever ring,
? Responsive to thy touch of ecstacy,
! With hallelujahs to thy Lord and ours."
Our Brother, ROBERT PETERSON !
MAYES, was initiated into the E. A. Degree j
in Salem Lodge No. 141. A.*. F.-. M.-., De- !
cember the 29th, 1868. passing to the degree i
of F. C., January 26th, 1869, being raised to I
the degree of M.\ M.\, February 26th, 1869,
and died February 11th, 1882, aged fifty- |
seven years, eleven months and eleven days, j
He was one of the earliest initiates into this j
Lodge, and was, from that event, one of its i
most active members, regularly attending its j
communications, until prevented by impaired
health. He served the Lodge in several of its 1
chairs, with energy and efficiency, and was
continuously for a number "of years on its j
most important committee, (that of charity.) ?
His affable manners and quaint, genial !
humor rendered him a favorite with all who j
knew him, but. his intimate friends could'j
more highly appreciate the fact, that, under !
that cheerful, amiable exterior, beat one of \
the truest hearts that ever pulsated, tender
and susceptible as a woman's to suffering and
distress, yet fearless and steadfast as a pala- i
din's in the cause of right and justice. In his ?
extensive dealings with his fellow-men, his |
name was a synonyme for integrity, and the ?
reputation he hus left, as an honorable and j
upright citizen, bas been attained by few, |
excelled by none.
Cemented, as weare, by the closest ties of j
union and friendship,* the death of any one of j
those whom we have ''met upon the level,"
ever fills our hearts with grief; but when we
mourn, as we do now, the decease of one
whose' Masonic Life was without blemish,
who acted up to our tenets in every particu?
lar; whose heart was warm with love for our .
Order ; whose band was ever extended to the
aid of distress and suffering ; and who espe?
cially delighted in that kindly and social in?
tercourse, the golden chain which unites all
of our profession, wherever dispersed-our
very souls faint within us, and nothing but
the abiding faith that the Great Master, in bis
inscrutable wisdom, does all things well, can
bring comfort to our sorrowing hearts.
The blow bas fallen-the body of our much
beloved Brother bas been consigned to the
silent tomb-the place that knew him, shall
know him no more ; but the memory of his
virtues is still with us : let us ever imitate
and emulate them, so that when the hour
shall come wheo we shall be called to pass i
the dread portals, the darkness of the tomb j
shall be dispelled by the glorious light that j
beams from the Temple above, not made with
hands, eternal in the Heavens.
While we bow with submission to the de- j
cree of the Great Architect, it is proper that j
we should place on record some tribute of af?
fectionate remembrance of our deceased Broth?
er, and of our sorrow at his death.
Be ii therefore Resolved, That we, the mem?
bers of Salem Lodge No. 141, A.*. F.". M.*.,
deeply deplore the dtath of our well beloved
brother, Robert Peterson Mayes, aod feel that
each of us has lost a valued friend, a faithful
and sympathetic brother ; aud the Lodge, an
active member anda liberal benefactor.
Resolved, That a page in our minute book
be dedicated to his memory and inscribed
with bis name, date of birth, and initiations
into the several degrees of Masonry, date of
his death and age.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions
be sent to his family, with the assurance of j
the tenderest and most sincere sympathy on '
the part of every member of the Lodge.

Letter from Be v. A. A. Gilbert.
KIN-ARD'S, S. C., Feb. 27, 1882.
Dear Watchman :-My thoughts fre?
quently turo toward and centre on dear
old Sumter, tbe soil, in the bosom of
which rest the sacred remains of my
sainted dead, and the region from
which come trooping up so many hal?
lowed memories-the scene, too, signal?
ized by so many struggles, conflicts and
victories, with the world, the flesh aud
the devil, and embalmed with so many
tears of sacred grief and thankfulness
to the God of our deliverance-the
home where my heart's affections first
clustered in marital ties, which witness?
ed the rising hopes and prosperous
progress of my young manhood, and the
attainments of my riper years, as I
sought to fight a good fight in the
journalistic arena, and within the more
sacred precincts of the Church of Christ.
Yes, my thoughts often turn to you,
dear old spot, from which I am now,
most likely forever severed, as my place
of abode. And how could it be other?
wise, lest I were first dead to all the
most precious recollections and blessed
inspirations by which the heart is
moved. Dear old Sumter-may the
hand divine "drop fatness" upon
your broad fields, and the white-winged
messenger of peace and plenty hover
over your communities and households.
I am here in what is known as North
Newberry, the scope of my ministerial
labors including a portion of the terri?
tory of Laurens County. It is a beau?
tiful country, with its red clay hills and
valleys now nestling in the picturesque
embrace of the verdant young grain
crop, as it smiles in its promise of com?
ing plenty-of "rest to the sowers and
bread to the eaters." This is a country
of small grain to an extent which Sum?
ter needs to be-a hundred acres of
oats, fifty of wheat, with the inevitable
"barley patch," being common to medi?
um farmers. And that "barley patch !" ?
How captivating to the eye, its dense !
green surface just at this season, like j
so many gems of emerald to adorn the j
fair bosom of mother earth. This "bar- !
ley patch" is said to be the most profi- j
table of all the patches known to tbis
country country. In two or three
weeks from this time it will have attain?
ed a height sufficient to cut. A farmer
of practical experience told us that it
opportunely supplements the food for
stock just before the coming of the oat
crop. Said he "it does not act like
other green ' food-I fill my mule
troughs with it at night, and they plow
well on it, as food, maintaining their
health and flesh and strength." It is
used in this way until the "bearded
head" opens, when it is said to be no
longer of utility for this purpose, as the
"bearded head" seriously affects the
mouth of the animal. I have thought j
of old Sumter in connection with these j
"barley patches"-how much they j
would tend to afford help in feed'ng ?
stock just at this time. The ground
when the barley is sown is made rich
the seed is put in broad-cast, in the fail,
in all respects as for oats. You may
begin to cut it in March, and it is said
to admit of three cuttings, something
after the manner of millet.
This is a most hospitable, kind-heart?
ed Christian people with whom, in the
providence of God, myself and mother?
less boys have been thrown. The kind
offices of thoughtful consideration, in
view of our peculiarly afflictive situa?
tion, are among the blessed provisions
which God makes for relieving the ne?
cessities of the voids which his inscruti
blc hand makes in the family circle.
One striking feature of this country,
which puts it a step beyond Sumter in
the march toward a self-sustaining posi?
tion : I have yet to sit at a table where j
edibles are spread, on which was not an
ample supply of fine home-made butter,
and this notwithstanding thc new fence
(nc fence) law has been io operation
here for some time. The fences are
fast disappearing here from around the
planted fields, and the rolling wheels of
your buggy on the public highways,
fling the dirt on the green oats and
wheat which skirt their very margin.
This country is fairly dotted with
churches-Presbterion, Lutheran. Bap?
tist and Methodist. So closely are our
brethren of other denominations neigh?
bors, that we have not a single appoint?
ment, at our six churches, that is not
fixed on a Sabbath of the month which
harmonizes with them-so that really
all the people, may attend thc public
worship iu God's house, at. some church,
every Sabbath day. And how beauti
ful is the spirit of Christian harmony
and commingling here exhibited. Some
of the warmest receptions I have h ac!
in Newberry County have been in the
homes of Presbyterians, Baptists and
Lutherans, This is graciously in ac?
cordance with my own Christian sensi?
bilities.
With expressions of warm remem?
brance for many dear friends in Sum?
ter, I am, truly yours,
A. A. GILBERT.
